HGH was discovered about 50 years ago, but it wasnt until the 1970's that scientists found what it could do to the body. The biological properties of HGH are various and range widely. With the molecule's anabolic activity, it can react like insulin, as well producing a reaction on water and salt. HGH can be found in the petuitary gland, and is formed naturally by the body. It is made manually by scientists manipulating the DNA and rearranging the strucuture of the molecules. It has been used in the treatment of many illnesses such as Turner Syndrome in Europe and Japan. HGH is also being tested to be used in treating wounds, such as burns. It is a large selling therapeutic protein.
